Brighton reignited their push for a place in Europe next season by recording their biggest-ever top-flight victory at the expense of woeful Wolves.
The Seagulls remain eighth in the Premier League but are now just a point behind Liverpool in seventh and two behind fifth-placed Tottenham, who have played two games more than Roberto de Zerbi's side.
Deniz Undav broke the deadlock with his first Premier League goal, before Pascal Gross made it 2-0 with an easy finish following Julio Enciso's driving run and pass.
Gross doubled his personal tally in sensational fashion midway through the first half, controlling Enciso's square ball before sending a swerving strike past Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa into the corner.
